Before I left for Anchorage, I was looking to see if there was anything glacier-y to do, because I hadn't gotten my glacier addiction fed in awhile LOL, but things like Portage Glacier and the train ride to Spencer Glacier were done for the season, and mom didn't want to do flightseeing since she's still recovering from covid (the change in air pressure is AWFUL when you're sick). Last night at dinner the urge was nipping at me again, so I was looking online again and remembered the 26 glaciers in one day cruise I did in Whittier in 2009, so I Googled that, and amazingly, their season was still going! Mom said sure for that, so I booked it! (Especially since we saw it was supposed to be sunny!) Yay! The tour was going to board at 11:45, so we didn't have to get up obscenely early, which was nice lol

Whittier is about 60 miles from Anchorage, so we left around 9 something. As promised, it was amazingly beautiful and sunny!! I checked the weather and it was the ONLY sunny day, everything else was rain! Last minute adventures are the best, mom and I have gotten so lucky with those! Somehow we bring the sun with us, even to places where it rains like 95% of the time haha. The only way to drive to Whittier is through a 2 mile long tunnel, where every 30 minutes cars on one side of the tunnel go through, and then the other side gets to, and we got there in time for the 10:30 drive. So weird driving through a mountain haha. Almost all of the population (200 some people) live in one building, which also has a post office, school, grocery store, etc. The tunnel also closes after 11:30, so you're basically trapped with all your neighbors overnight. Ummmm NO thank you. D: I was panicking just *thinking* about being trapped there. The building had been renovated since I last saw it in 2012, which looked nice..it looked so drab before lol. It was SUPER windy there for some reason..I was worried I'd be too cold on the boat!

Tomorrow mom and I drive back to Fairbanks..I'll miss the glaciers, but not the traffic haha. I'll post my pictures when I get back home, but here's one for now:

Oh yeahh! Harvard is epic :D

21. How Impulsive Are You? A perfect question for today haha! I'm definitely pretty impulsive, and I love when it works out like today. Not good when I'm hungry at the grocery store though :P
